the fish. Take HIM up quickly to
Bridget, and be off to your mother
Then noddlng and smiling with vast
approval, Milly Ryan tripped down to
the sea, whence a successful fisherman
had lust extracted bream Of very de-
cent size, by lint of balancing himself
over the edge of a hugh rock, with Il
primitive fshing-rod in his hand for
hours.
Milly was delighted, and as sine
walked up and down on the firm sand
Of the little cove, she looked as happy
aud contcntcd as if materials for the
daily dinner We're always ready to hand
instead Of "having to be gathered from
the corners of the earth" as she some
times expressed it.
Milly has her troubles, and to her
they are neither few nor ight; but to-
day the burden of them IS lifted, and,
with perfect health, good looks, and a
clear conscience, she is, rs she appears
to be, girl to be envied. Has she not
lust seen on its road to the pot a fish
which ws fill out excclleatly the other :

whole unexpected days: What more

weather perfect this September, too -
Milly is tall and carries her lovely
head in stately fashion her gray eyes
are clear and bright, her brilliant, OF
somewhat brown complexion shows oil
the whitencss Of her pearly teeth, as
every now and then she laughs in the
glalncss of her heart. She walks with
vlr easy grace of a girl who has spent
the greater part Of her days in the open
air. and to whom it is all whether the
road she travels is up or down sharp
hill or straight along a level.

Brancepcth Ryan, Milly's father, was
a good-natured, impractical, egotistical
lrishman. The youngest son of a man
with large family and small rent
roll, he had unfortunately, become pos.
sessed of the idea that he was born
poet, and the time that he should have
DEVOTED to discovering for himself a
means Of livelihood, he wasted in
stringing together rhymes, which he
rolled forth in a rich voice, and with a
decided Irish accent, for the benefit of
any unwary listener, and then conf
NIT to paper, and toward to any and
every publisher whose name and ad-
dress he could learn, nothing daunted
by the fact that they 'enjoyed circu-
laticn in manuscript and nothing
more.
lie married u lady whose possessions
were a little cottage in Cornwall and
about Three thousand pounds in the
Funds, and after her death, and that
of his father, he left County Galway,
where his precarious existence had
been aided by an occasional helping
hand from his parent, and settled down
in the little house by the stashore,
promising to make speedy fortune for
himself and Milly by the efforts Of his
genius.
At the time our little tale com
mences he has lived at Tremawtha tor
six years, and there Milly has blossom
ed from bright child into a lovely
girl, and now, at nineteen, is the light
and comfort of the little household.
A faithful old servant, who had liv'

riage,is the only other tenant of the
little cottage, aud the two women de.
vote their energies to the securing OF
comfort for, and the keeping in tol-
erably straight road Of their common
charge, Brancepeth Ryan. If Mllly
had received their little income intact
it would have seemed a fortune to her
and Bridget, and they would have
worked wonders with it but alas the
fingers of the master let very few coins
slip through them for the expenses of
his household, and then when the mon

Human Remains as Medicine.

Such details US all these are apt to
sound to us strangely unreal as we
read them somewhat in the light of
travellers tales, With reference to far
away lands; but it certainly is startling
when, for the first time. we realize
how exactly descriptive they are of the
medicine-lore of our own ancestors
in truth, to this day we may find
among ourselves some survivals of the
old superstitions still lingering in out
of-the-way corners. Thus it is only a
few years since the skull of a suicide
was used in Caithness rs a drinking
cup for the cure of epilepsy. DIR. Ar
thur Mitchell knows of L case in which
the body of such a one was disinterred
in order to obtain her skull for this
purpose.
1t was, however, accounted more
sure specific for epilepsy to reduce
part of the skull to powder aud swal-
low it. Even the moss which grew
on such skulls was deemed certain
cure for various diseases. Nor was
! this simply u popular superstition. In

How Far the Human Jaw Travels.

The noon-day customers were drop
ping out one by one from SAMSON
street restaurant, when a dyspeptc
looking man who sat at the next table
startled me by saying: "Have you
any idea how many miles o mans jaw
will travel in the course of his life.
assuming that he lives to be 20 years
of age?"
We'll, | never thought of it," an
swered young man, who. halted in
his wild career of beefSteak. The
dyspeptic man changed his seat and
exposed much soile,l piece of paper
with some figures on it, which he pro
ceeded to explain:
'.Eor the first ten wears child's jaw
viii go about Sc inches daily or 2O0,-
100 inches altogether in decade
From his 10th 10 his 10th year. what
with chewing gum, food and tobacco,
he will work his jaw for, say, four
hours Il day, atan average of one-hali
OF an inch per minute; that would
make in day 100 inches. or in the 10
years 43S,000 inches. During this
time he will talk about five hours a
day, traversing about three-fourths of
an inch with his jaw; that would give
in 10 years S22. 250 inches to be added
to our former figures.
For the next 45 years he will spend
sixty minutes day in eating. when he
will open his mouth one-half an inch
minute and seven hours in talking,
when he will average tive-eighths of
AN inch; that is when you figure it out,
5,00S. .625 inches.
I'VE now have our man 65 years
old. For the last five years his jaw
takes rest. He will eat no more than
80 minutes day at one-half inch a
minute, or u, ,345 inches. and in talk
ing the distance travelled will not
amount to more than 938, 800 inches.
Now for the total. If we add the var
ious sums together we get 6.S35. 40
inches, and dividing by 63,36O, the
number of inches in mile, you find
that the maxillary journey is dis
tance of 107 miles and fraction"
THAT IS certainly interesting" said
